cararllo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Hi all! I've been searching through the forums and i have found no solution to my problem. Mi OSX works perfectly, everything works smoothly, but the only problem i have is that when i turn on my computer i need to have the installation dvd inserted in the dvd drive, don't press any button and i will boot in the OS. Otherwise, if i have no installation dvd inserted, after the "intel" screen, the monitor goes black with a cursor in the upper left corner which stays there forever... I'm using the 10.4.5 version, with an intel D945 mobo, an intel D920 processor and 2 Gb of RAM. Anybody could please help me? Thanks in advance!

marliwahoo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 It may very well have to do with this file: com.apple.Boot.plist. Path - Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Do a search for it here or at maxxuss site.

theSpam Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Maybe it's your BIOS' boot order? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13026-only-boot-with-installation-dvd-inserted/#findComment-82865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cararllo Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 I don't think the bios order has to do, because in case it didn't find a DVD, i would load the OS normally. On the other side, i don't know what com.apple.Boot.plist has to do... could you please be more specific? Thanks you all folks!

marliwahoo Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 It is one of the files in the maxxuss patch. Save the one you have now and replace it with the one from maxxuss patch solution. If it dosen't work -go back to the orginal. No harm.
